JOHN TURTURRO AND WOODY ALLEN MAKE A WINNING PAIR

John Turturro might be the LAST person we’d picture as a gigolo but he certainly imagines HIMSELF as a plausible ladies man in “Fading Gigolo” John wrote and directed and stars in the movie. He assembled an impressive cast for his comedy. Woody Allen costars as Turturro’s cash-strapped friend who becomes his pimp. Sofia Vergara, Sharon Stone, Vanessa Paradis, and Liev Schreiber add to the fun. It debuts in September at the Toronto Film Festival. John and Woody look like they’re on the same wavelength. We’re looking forward to this one.

“Fading Gigolo” is apparently the name of the movie. The plot appears to be along the lines of HBO’s Hung.

It does look interesting enough. Speaking as someone who is attracted to “real” looking men I can see John as a prostitute……especially if he is sufficiently equipped for the job.

Love Turturro, but wouldn’t see anything with Woody Allen, that pedo

Looks predictable and redundant. Yawn.

THAT was painful to watch. Yet another male fantasy movie revolving around a totally unbelievable plot line. Nothing fun about it. It makes me think of the MILLIONS of YOUNG GIRLS who are brutally raped and forced into prostitution every year, many of them killed and damaged for life. But, lets twist reality into some perv male fantasy starring a know Pedo/Rapist none the less!

She’s hosted an intervention, hired an addiction specialist, and even threatened to end the friendship, but nothing seems to work. What’s a girl to do?
